The Tyger Pax Horror

A ground bridge alert had come through on board the ship from Bumblebee’s signal, but no one had yet come through. Soundwave had been about to shut it down, but Megatron shook his helm and stepped up to the swirling mass, steeling himself. The minibot wouldn’t delay his arrival for any reason that wasn’t dire, and after what they’d been through… 

He warmed up his cannon and walked through.

There was indeed a fight on the other end, but the assailant wasn’t someone he’d expected. His weapon was allowed to cool as he stood over the pair, servos on his hips. “Silence! What is the meaning of this?”

::Wait, thing? It’s… It’s been spreading, right? And with the smell… Is it some kind of monster?:: Maybe he did find the covenant for a reason, then…

::That is what we’ve been trying to detect. Whatever it is, we have found no reference to its name in any existing record. It may just be nonsense the cultist spewed before succumbing.::

::Really? I, uh- I found a, uh, history book that talked about it.:: Not technically a lie! ::I didn’t see its name, but I read about how it apparently hit Cybertron before, in the past, and how these bots were chanting something to make it come and eat cities in an un-Unicron way, that there’s this super-dangerous book that’s supposed to stop it somehow? If that cultist was chanting… Whatever it is- then it could be the same thing.::

On his end of the line, Megatron squints. It seems too convenient.

::Let me see this book. If it has the answers we seek, we need them as soon as possible, and if it too is a danger, then it too must be contained.::

::MEGATRON IT STINKS AND WHAT IS WITH THAT CLOUD ARE YOU DEALING WITH UNICRON AGAIN OR SOMETHING? CAN I HELP::

Megatron winces first from the volume, then from the questions.

::Panic will not help the situation. As far as we’ve been able to tell, this… thing is different from Unicron. It has been spreading, but we’ve found no successful containment thus far. It deteriorates whatever it touches, including living metal.::

::Megatron, has anything been going on in Metroplex lately?::

ask-smokescreen:

mightymegatron:

::Metroplex? …No. There is an active quarantine in Tyger Pax, but I have heard nothing from Metroplex.::

::Why?::

::I learned from a, uh, friend, that there’s this book there? It’s part of something in Cybertronian history-  I don’t know if you were around for it, either, but I wanted to know more.::

::Wait, quarantine? Why? What happened?::

The decommissioned titan had been thoroughly ransacked, he highly doubts that anything of value remains.

::You’re free to search if you wish. The quarantine is necessary; most of the area is unstable and unsafe terrain.:: Again, not a lie. ::Something may have been released in the resulting collapses and until we can test for it, it’s unwise to attempt recon.:: He was careful with his wording. Perhaps a swarm of scraplets, perhaps a chemical. Perhaps an invisible horror of unknown and incomprehensible origin.

There’s a blanket menacingly floating towards Megatron, ready to tuck the Lord High Potato in!

At this point, I’m more surprised that I’m at all surprised.

I don’t know of any hallucinations that would otherwise have any interest in my optic ridges, and I am not in need of recharge. I’ve only been awake for four days thusfar. During the war I was forced to stay online for twice as long at times.

Hey, you never know! You have pretty legendary eyebrows, you know.

Four days? Seriously? Megs, the war’s over, you don’t have to stay awake for weeks at a time. I get not being able to sleep, I’m on two days of no recharge, but you can’t be at your best if you don’t recharge! And Cybertron deserves your best, right?

/Now trying to pull on Megatron’s servo, trying to lead him to berth. Old mechs gotta get sleep!/

*His arm is pulled, but none of the rest of him moves. Still, he considers.*

If I agree to attempt recharge, you will not steal anything off of my frame, nor will you add anything to it.

*Bats the blanket away.*

Smokescreen. Are you invisible?

…….

/A sigh, trying to get the blanket back on./

How’d you know? Was it that obvious?

Also, go recharge, Megs.
